Sennheiser announced the ACCENTUM Wireless
Marlow, UK, September 25th, 2023 – Sennheiser launches ACCENTUM Wireless headphones
“ACCENTUM Wireless was developed to outperform their price tag, sharing much of the most desirable DNA of our award-winning MOMENTUM 4,” says Christian Ern, Sennheiser Principal Product Manager, “Consumers are getting breathtaking Sennheiser sound without sacrificing the battery life or wireless freedom that makes them so enjoyable to use all day long.”
ACCENTUM Wireless is an easy recommendation for consumers that prioritise audio performance in a wireless headphone. Their 37mm dynamic transducers are tuned to provide exciting sound experiences with outstanding bass performance and striking clarity. Furthermore, the acoustics have been optimised for broad ANC performance, dramatically reducing cacophony from the outside world through a combination of passive isolation and covert microphones targeting both low and higher frequencies.
ACCENTUM keeps you in control using Bluetooth® 5.2 and multipoint connectivity, supports the aptX™ HD codec, AAC and SBC codecs are also onboard, perfect for catching up on shows or exploring a new album release on virtually any Bluetooth-enabled audio device.
BATTERY
In addition to operating up to 50 hours per charge, ACCENTUM can “quick charge” for up to 5 more hours of listening in just 10 minutes. The included USB-C charging cable can also transform the wireless headphones into a wired set for instances when Bluetooth is not permitted or enabled; simply plug the USB cable into a class-compliant device to use ACCENTUM as an audio interface for content consumption and voice communication. Their long-lasting battery has the added benefit of prolonging the amount of time it takes to reach the maximum number of charge cycles over the headphone’s lifespan, reducing e-waste along the way.
CALLING
ACCENTUM comes equipped for more than just content consumption—two built-in microphones and a dedicated wind-reduction mode make taking voice calls a breeze. Adjustable side-tone with advanced signal processing keeps conversations feeling natural and fatigue-free while minimising background distractions. Multipoint seamlessly switches the active wireless connection from one Bluetooth device to another without the need for re-pairing the devices—a boon for people frequently jumping into VoIP calls on a computer but streaming a podcast on their mobile between meetings, for example.
SMART CONTROL
Staying in command of ACCENTUM’s features is intuitive, thanks to the simplified 4-button layout and optional companion smartphone app. From managing Bluetooth connections and features to experimenting with the 5-band EQ, the Smart Control App enhances the headphone experience amidst a refreshingly simple visual user interface you can store in your pocket. Smart Control can store user presets and deliver updates, too, keeping ACCENTUM’s features operating smoothly when the devices they connect to evolve, too.
SOUND DESIGN
The extended listening time from ACCENTUM’s battery is equally matched by its long-term wearing comfort. The earcup and headband padding contact points effortlessly conform to the wearer’s shape, with a gentle touch that always feels secure and natural. Their identity indeed echoes the compact fold-flat design of the MOMENTUM 4 Wireless, giving the entire headphone lineup a cohesive look that is serious about both sound and ergonomics.
ACCENTUM Wireless will be available in black and in white with sandstone accents. Pre-orders for the black colourway begin on September 26th 2023 and will start shipping October 4th. The white version begins shipping in late November, both models will be available at select retailers and at sennheiser-hearing.com. The new ACCENTUM Wireless will have an RRP of £159.99 / €179.90.
